I often feel like I’m alone in my struggles, so your story really resonates with me. It’s eye-opening to realize how many of us face similar challenges. Like you, I’m striving to have a kinder and more compassionate inner dialogue. Thank you for your transparency. You always inspire me to keep pushing forward 🤎
you are not alone, friend! even tho it makes me sad to know others are struggling, it strengthens me to know we're all doing this life thing together. YOU inspire ME! thank you for being here. 🖤
“I’m waiting for the day my new stories become my main stories. I’m waiting for the day the fairy tales I spin in my head will feel more true.”
So relatable! I tend to think about my old stories as cassette tapes that were recorded long ago, and that now it’s my job to record new tapes that I can play for myself.
I also always say that it’s one thing for me to *know* that a new message is true, but it’s another for me to *feel* that it is. The process of recording new tapes feels layered and takes time and effort, but also feels like a gift.
Thank you for candidly sharing your experience. 🫶🏽
oh wow i love that reimagining! In August, i challenged myself to reread my old journals, i guess that's my way of replaying my old tapes. in that process, i noticed how mean i was to myself. I want my new tapes to be filled with kindness. 💜
and i totally feel you about knowing v. feeling. i think, like most things in life, truly believing/feeling the kind/true things you say to yourself takes time and patience. Good thing I've spent the whole month writing about patience! haha!
I love the honesty and vulnerability of this post! I too struggled with overthinking and yoga with affirmations really helped me get out of my head. Now I notice that when I go into my doom spiral of throws I can catch myself and try to rephrase in the moment! Thanks again for the honestly!
